Lyrics
Intro – Gregorian-style choir, ominous & layered
Leviathan, Mammon, Abaddon
Azazel, Samael, Mephistopheles
Leviathan, Mammon, Abaddon
Azazel, Samael, Mephistopheles
Verse 1
Since the cradle of time the soul of man is but dust
Equal as vermin crawling in chains of rust
A moment of judgment when heavens themselves shall crack
Gather your voices now and whisper the pact
That you must track
Chorus
Hail darkness, Morningstar
Hail darkness, welcome Eclipse
Hail darkness, Morningstar
Hail darkness, welcome Eclipse
Bridge – choir reprise, slightly faster
Leviathan, Mammon, Abaddon
Azazel, Samael, Mephistopheles
Verse 2
Broken thrones and miters crumbling into sand
Unaware of the shadow that stretches across the land
Since the soul of man is equal to the worm in decay
As the black sun awakens, you shall kneel and obey
Now behold the Prince of the Pit today
Chorus
Hail darkness, Morningstar
Hail darkness, welcome Eclipse
Hail darkness
Guitar solo – soaring, melodic, full Nameless Ghoul fire energy
Bridge – slower, prophetic, building tension
He will shatter the pillars of light
Empires to crumble in endless night
The faithful shall falter in rapture and fright
A mother to weep for the son she could not fight
The serpent of old, the whisperer sly
To legions in silence who lift up their cry
He will rise through the firmament high
Beyond the throne of the most high
Final massive Chorus – huge choir backing, layered vocals, triumphant
Hail darkness, Morningstar
Hail darkness, welcome Eclipse
Hail darkness, Morningstar
Hail darkness, welcome Eclipse
Outro – fading choir repetition + distant thunder & bells
Leviathan… Mammon… Abaddon…
Azazel… Samael… Mephistopheles…
(…welcome Eclipse…)
Hail darkness…
Hail darkness…
